BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Neuroscientists at the University at Buffalo have shown in two recently published papers that destabilization of structures called microtubules, intracellular highways that transport ...

Cortical microtubules are often, but not always, parallel to the cellulose microfibrils in the cell wall: the alignment of microfibrils helps to regulate the direction in which the cell can expand.

Microtubules are cell constituents that display several astounding properties and a unique pattern of behavior during the cell cycle. Microtubules are regulated by several proteins and complexes, and ...

Microtubules help to regulate cell structure throughout our bodies. A group of researchers have used cryo-electron microscopy to shed light on how a certain protein keeps microtubules stable, and ...

Hameroff points to studies that demonstrate that, in humans, applying sub-thermal tFUS to the hippocampus of Alzheimer’s patients daily for three minutes increased metabolic activity in the ...

Scientists at the Ruđer Bošković Institute (RBI) in Zagreb, Croatia, have discovered that the protein CENP-E, long believed ...

The chromosomes, once they have duplicated genetic information, move to the center of the cell and the cell, in a very remarkable way, quickly sprouts from its two ends large tubes that hook the ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) represents a better choice compared to light-based microscopy methods for the stufy of microtubules. For instance, the AFM can be used in buffers to image samples at a ...

A study in the journal Science is offering new insights into a long-standing mystery about plant growth. The scientists who conducted the experiment say their results could open new avenues of ...
